The LMS Stanier Black Five 45212 will also be coming to Essex soon, which was built at Armstrong Whitworth in 1935 and made it's long-awaited return to the railway last year.

The 45212 is one of 842 'Black Fives' that were built for the London Midland and Scottish Railway and is one of 18 members of the class to survive into preservation.

The train is owned by the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway and is normally based there, before it was fitted with the necessary equipment for main line running and was certified for main line use in 2017.
